Re: Report you PT8 exp. here
NOT IMPRESSED.
1. Amplitube 2 doesn't work at all. UNUSABLE. I get constant -6086 errors within seconds of just playing through Amplitube. Not playing the session or recording. I know it's not Amplitube because it works fine standalone. 2. I get constant errors in general using nothing but the included PIs. I can't work for more than 5-10 minutes without an error. That means that half the time, the error occurs during a record take. 3. Now the smart tool is very counter-intuitive. I have to scroll down in the midi track to move a note. I understand that now nobody is allowed to complain about MIDI editing within the edit window because there is a MIDI editor, but the problem is, when I am playing a full session looking for errors, I'm in the edit window. Then I find a problem with the MIDI track, I open the MIDI editor, and I have to find the spot again. Aggravating. 4. Pre fader metering doesn't work when a track is record enabled. I think this has been a problem for a few releases though. 5. If I record a track, then move my cursor somewhere else in the session, then decide I didn't like the take and undo the record. I now have to manually reposition my cursor to where it was. It used to remember for me. 6. MIDI tracks default to region view, so even if I choose to use the edit window for MIDI editing, I have to change the view to Notes, and then scroll down for half an hour to get to my notes. 7. A session that had a drumkit that was doctored up in Beat Detective in a previous release takes about 20 minutes to load in PT8 (only the first time though). 8. Did I mention I can't work for more than 5-10 minutes without an error? 9. In the open session window, I can't use arrow keys to navigate to higher folders. Once I close a session, and bring up the open session dialog, I am put into the folder of the session I was just using, and the only way to move out is to go to the mouse and select a drop down menu. So now if I accidentally go one folder short, I have to do it again. Would be nice to just be able to move freely about my folders with arrow keys. It has always worked before. Not sure why they took that away from us. 10. This happened one time, and I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but I was able to do it consitantly before I convicted to the bug and moved on. I recorded about 2 measures of a drum beat. Quantized it to 16th notes. One of the kicks didn't quantize to the grid, so I manually moved it to the grid. When I selected the note, another note was CREATED on the Hat note. So to recap, I grab a kick note, and a hat note was created. I undid it. Tried again. It happened again. I could tried it several more times, and it faithfully did it every time. Then I noticed I couldn't select the note that was "under" the new note that was created. I got frustrated and left the room and went to get lunch. 11. I can't guarantee this is a pro tools bug, but I've never had this happen to me before with my older versions... I recorded a full drum kit. I listened back, and there was about 1 second of audio in one of the OHs that was cutting out. I couldn't get this to happen again though. 12. I can't explain this one: I recorded a drum kit and mixed it (pan an PIs). I always mix Drummer's perspective, so Hat=left, Ride=right. I noticed that I was hearing audience perspective in the OHs only. Then I looked and notice the inputs were switched on the OHs. Figuring it was user error, I just fixed the problem (or so I thought). I moved OHR to above OHL and renamed the tracks accordingly, and re-panned them accordingly. I closed the session. reopened the session. WTF?? My drum panning switched back, but everything else stayed how I left it. Couldn't get this to happen again either. 13. After the first time I launched PT after a VERY clean install, PT froze while trying to open a session. I tried to force quit. Nothing. I hard restarted the computer. Now my finder is missing? I erase Databases and preferences and hard restart about 4 more times, and then my finder comes back. hmmm. Then PT seems to launch fine and open the session. 14. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I can't work for more than 5-10 minute without an error. Even with a session with only 1 instrument track with Xpand 2 on it, and 2 audio tracks with Vocal PI chains (EQ3, TL Aggro, send to Verb Aux with a D-verb). I have to mention that I found all these thing s within about 4 hours of using PT8. I'm not sure how they got by to release. Anyways, it's not ALL bad. I like the new UI as far as Aesthetics are concerned. But I do wonder what post houses will say about not being able to invert colors to reduce eye-strain when working in the dark. I also like...um... I really wanted to like this release. I had planned to sell my old G5 and get a fancy new Mac Pro and run PT8 on it. But now I will definitely be sticking to 7.4 on my G5 until they fix nearly all of those problems because those are all fundamental workflows for me. I may come back and list some more stuff as I remember them, but I think that's a good enough review for now. Edit: BTW, this was all on a MacBook Pro 2.4Core Duo with 2Gigs of ram and a 002. |

Mac Pro 10.5.6
Upon opening Pro Tools I was told that I didn't have authorization for the Moogerfooger plug-ins (v4 authorization is on my iLok). Weird. I opened and played some of my more complex mixes with no problems. Waves Renaissance Reverb v 5.9.7 works fine.

Re: Mac Pro 10.5.6
WOW...theres really THAT many issues???
I've downloaded PT 8 but I'm scared to install... Anyone have a good experience with it? Also does digi recommend an uninstall of your current PT before installing 8? If so, a clean uninstall or just a simple one?

Re: Mac Pro 10.5.6
Until we get more info from the customer, I think this is isolated. Many of the problems he's reporting are user error. Some are completely unverified one off issues.
Quote:
Ideally you would do a clean install of OS 10.5.5 on a separate drive and install Pro Tools 8 to that, rather than using your current drive. This allows you to dual-boot between them and, again, have something to revert to should you encounter problems. More info in this thread: http://duc.digidesign.com/showthread.php?t=233740 |

Re: Report you PT8 exp. here
I got as far as the download window but all I'm getting is a blank window and nothing is happening. I'm sure the server is slammed... is this happening for anyone else?

Re: Report you PT8 exp. here
Is there any significance in your user name, or was it just a fortuitous choice?

Re: Report you PT8 exp. here
Again, Crank1000, can you give us your complete system specs so we can know exactly what we're working with?
I'd also like to send you a utility that will generate a plug-in version list - can you send an email to: vi [at] digidesign [dot] com with the email address you would like it sent to, or just let me know if I can send it to the email address in your profile. Like I said, I think the problems you're having can be solved, we just need to get more details and track down the source. I may not be able to get to solving everything today - I'll do what I can, but it's extremely busy and I may not have time. One thing I strongly suspect is plug-ins - can you go through yours and verify that you're on the latest versions? Either that or wait until I can get you the utility so you can post the version list and I can tell you which ones will need to be updated. |
